‘Europeans can’t do category design.’ We hear this a lot, particularly from our friends across the pond. However, the company behind London’s record breaking $11 billion IPO might disagree. Wise (formerly known as TransferWise) has successfully built and dominated a category within the retail banking space. And, they’re from the UK.

So what’s their secret? Why has Wise succeeded where so many other Europeans have failed?

In today’s episode, we take a look at what we can learn from Wise. We’ll also be checking the tech recession’s temperature and asking what options are available to your business. Could it be time for a new category?
